A ST. PAUL WANT.

There is one thing st. Paul needs far
more than she does an art museum,
though if any public spirited citizen
makes up his mind to present her with
Il well stocked receptacle for art treas
ures she will accept it with very smll-
ing face indeed.
But an art gallery is luxury and can
wait until the necessarieS are provided.
And it is exactly in neceSSary-a men
tai necessary-that st. Paufis lacking
She has no adequate public library. And
credit that she has gone along thus far
without one. Many Eastern towns a
quarter the size of st. Paul have public
libraries which, well selected and stored
in building INTELLECTUALLY apprOpri-
ate, are very fittingly sources of pride,
"a well as instruction.
Even in the villages of New England
the public library is regarded as ne
cessity, and is usually provided con-
temporaneously with the town hall.
Our sister city, Minneapolis, possesses
the New England spirit sufficiently to
have already provided very handsomely
for the intellectual wants of her people.
1t is not st. Paul's habit to fall behind
the procession, but she is doing it very
decidedly in this instance. The pres
ent library, which fills the field as well
as it can with the limited means at its
disposal, is far from adequate. 1t is,
however, an excellent nucleus around
which to gather library which will be
credit to the city and which will fully
cater to the mental needs of the people.
There is wealth enough in ST. Paul,
and, we believe, public spirit enough to
provide st. Paul with such library as
she should have There are twenty men
in the city who could, collectively easily
pay for both library and building with
out missing the expenditure. Evidently
the only way the library can be secured
is by subscription, and should the right
men head the list with generous
amounts an adequate sum could easily
be secured.
The library is the peoples college,
and if it could once be established it
would be quite within the province of
the city to maintain it in the peoples
interest. And in no way more bene-
cial to the public as a whole could the
taxpayers money be expended.

REAL ESTATE COMPARISONS.

There is no better evidence of the
conservative way in which the
real estate business is carried on
in ST. Paul and of the entire whole
someness of the activity that has
been and is being displayed in
real estate investments than by cOmpar-
iSOn with other cities. In the matter of
business property, the sureSt indication
of city's solidity, the record is greatly
in favor of ST. Paul.
The most eligible piece of property of
that kind in the city lately sold for
$1,000 foot, while the highest property
in the city will not exceed 1880 foot.
And this is not because the demand for
business property is slight or because
the city is going forward slowly. Ex-
actly the opposite condition of affairs
obtains. 1t is because in ST. Paul prices
are kept down to the natural value of
property and are not inflated through
excessive and injudicious speculation.
In fact there is comparatively little
of the gambling spirit displayed in
dealing in st. Paul real estate. Such
speculation as exists is legitimate. 1t is
simply the purchase of eligible property,
which, sure to rise with the rapid
growth of the city, will bring its pur-
chaser natural profit. In other
cities the case is different. In Omaha,
for instance, $500 or $1,000 is the price
asked per foot for property no better
than that which sells in st. Paul at ST.
600 per foot. In Kansas City even as
much as $1,000 per foot is asked for
eligible corners, price that is scarcely
exceeded even in Chicago. And so it
goes.
There is not a Western city of st.
Paul's size in which the real estate
boomers and gamblers have not inflated
prices two or three times greater than
they are in this city. Nothing could be
more harmful to city's best interests.
Business men hesitate to invest their
money in property which they readily
see is held above its true value, and are
therefore inclined to turn elsewhere,
both in the location of their business
and in speculative investments.
There is such a thing as ultra con-
servatiSm of course, but that is not the
kind that obtains in st. Paul, and it
would be well for some of her sister
cities to learn the lesson from her of
estimating property at its real value.

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

The charge made by some of the party Or
gans, that the presidents proposed visit to the
West and South is to be an electioneering
tour, is unjust and wholly without founda-
ton. There is nothing about it to suggest
political scheme, but, on the contrary, every
thing indicates that there is nothing further
from Mr.. CLEvELASDs mind than such pur-
pose.
-
When ANDREW JOHNSON made his famous
''swing around the circle he started out
with flourish of trumpets and kept up the
brass band parade all the way. That was the
politicians idea of arousing popular en-
thusiasm. Mr.. CLEVELAND has a very differ
ent purpose from that ANDY JOHNSON had in
making an extensive tour of the country.
He has heen in Office long enough to feel the
embarrassment of limited acquaintance
with the people whose chief magistrate he is.
He wants to look into their faces and to see
what kind Of homes they have. He wants a
personal knowledge of the character of the
Western and Southern countries, and wants
an opportunity to judge for himself the needs
of the different sections as well as their re-
sources. He proposes to make this trip solely
from sense of public duty, and it is as I'M
kind as it is unjust to attribute other motives
to him.

So far as public sentiment goes the court
hoase commissioners are thoroughly vindi-
Gated. But that doesn't build the court
house. The thing to do now is for the court
house commissioners and the county board
to get together and talk the matter over like
sensible men who have high public duty to
perform, and come to an understanding
whereby the building can be pushed to an
early completion. They will be guilty of
criminal folly if they do not.

HOW TO GET RICH.

We observe that 4 distinguished Min
neapOlitan, CHARLES PILLSBURY, WI O
can draw his check for figure running
UP into the scores of thousands IS
readily as the ordinary man can buy
10-cent cigar, has been telling the reaG-
ers of an Eastern contemporary how to
get rich. The substance of his advice is
that the would-be millionaire must work
exceedingly hard, must have a just esti-
mate of his own abilities, must be tenn
perate and must be economical. All
do not doubt that Millionaire PILLS
BURY has during his own career OBJ
served these precepts.
But does the following of the line of
action which he lays down always pro-
cure the accumulation of wealth? AS
our friend Hon. BARDwELI. SLoTE
observes, mot by large majority"
There are thousands of men who are
Woodworking, economical, temperate
and self-appreciative, and yet who have
about as little chance of accommodating
hundreds, to say nothing of thousands,
as they have of drawing the capital prize
in the lottery. No doubt the time-worn
preceptS which Mr.. PILLsBURY advo-
Gates are aids in wealth getting, though
many men have attained wealth who
did not observe any of them, but they
are far from infallible.
1t is the opportunity that makes the
rich man more than anything else,
which i'll fact made even CHARLES
PILLsBURY himself, even though he
does net realize it. Had he remained
attached to the parent tree in New
England he would in all probability
be unable to contemplate bank ac-
count of such satisfactory proportions,
but having branched out for himself
into the West, he ran against an oppor-
tlInity which his native shrewdness en-
abled him to appreciate, and having en-
braced it. his wealth came as a matter
of course. Of course the wealth seeker
must have the intelligence to see the
opportunity when it arrives, but if it
never comes, all the hard work and
economy of which he is capable will not
produce wealth.
And these opportunities are more fire.
quent in the growing West than in the
stagnant East. That is why there are
relatively so many more wealthy men
in the West. Therefore, young man, if
you would possess wealth, or falling in
that, live in region where existence is
q pleasure, come West. The opportuni-
ties are not yet all exhausted.

Il. j. Mcbride.

t. j. MCBRIDE, a leading business
man of Winnipeg, Man.-Up in our
country we have heard of the failure of
Premier NoRQUAY to successfully put
the bonds of the Red River railroad
upon the market, and we are still of the
opinion that his trip East for this pur-
pose was unnecessary. Before he left
Winnipeg he was assured that the
money for the proposed road could easily
be raised among the people directly in
tereSted, and who are DESTROYS of MAX
ing the road success, but he persisted
in going away from home for funds.
Despite the talk of injunctiOnS and
other impediments to thwart our prog
ress, we intend to go ahead and build
this line and settle details afterwards.
There is double dealing somewhere, and
Mr.. NoRQUAY was afforded an oppor-
tunity to immortalize himself among
our people, but fear he has signally
failed. Although we have not yet laid
any rails they are rapidly accommodating
at Morris, which is to be the distribut-
ing point both ways, and no talk of legal
obstacles or constitutional questions
will debar us from completing our road.
Wherever pllinglS necessary it is being
done, and the timber for bridges, ties
and other purposes is cut and ready for
use at short notice. The Cana
dian Pacific, which controls the main
line and all branches stretching from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, naturally
enough desires prolongation of the ex-
listing monopoly, and the latest move
on its part tends to a compromise Oh
the basis of suspension of operations on
the new road for year. If they could
cOntrive to stave Off a conclusion of the
difficulty for that length of time, other
and similar moves would be attempted,
but our people are too wide awake to be
hoodwinked in any such manner. Then,
too, the government line, as the Cana
dian monopoly is termed, wants to
haul the crops of this season, which
have never been eXcelled in our his
tory, the product of the farms being
forty bushels to the acre, and sixty-siX
pounds to the bushel, of superior
grade of wheat and other grain. There
is strong annexation sentiment among
our people, but do not look to see any
thing accomplished in this line for sew
eral years to come, the principal bone
of contention now being in relation to
the railroad problem. And the govern
ment cannot afford to trifle with us on
this subject either, for the people know
what they want, and are determined to
have it. too.

Manager j. II. Acknowledgment
+ tons are pending and will probably
eventuate some time during the coming
week, by which new opera house will
be assured to st. Paul, for there is room
enough here in this enterprising, go-.
ahead town for two temples of the
drama. Three sites have been sug-
gested, all very desirable, and there is
no question that the money for the en-
terprise could be raised inside of twenty
four hours. One plan contemplates
business block with the theater in the
center, with grand entrance flush with
the street, the cost of which would be
upwards of 100000, and another is for
a theater alone on one of the mailer
sites with front of about leo feet, the
cost of which would be in tie neighbor-
hood of s250,00O. My idea is to give st.
Paul the finest theater in the United
States, not excepting MCVICKER's at
Chicago, which all agree is a model place
of amusement, and l do not entertain
any doubt of the ultimate success of my
venture. Ii will be an easy
matter to improve on the plans
of a majority of the theaters in this
country, and the necessary outlay would
be returned in year, at the utmost, by
the receipts of the box Office. This
country is growing very rapidly, and,
while have nothing to say against the
present Grand opera house in st. Paul,
yet l think l can safely put my money
in new venture that will return me
good interest. AT my time of life, while
do not want to confine myself to any
particular city, and have abandoned the
idea of theater in each of the large
cities, Iwant something that will occupy
my days and return an equivalent for
my labOrs, and with st. Paul, Min
neapolis and Duluth to draw upon for
patronage, l consider this golden OPP
portunity, and one that l will not neg
lect. Only q few days will elapse now
ere matters will assume a definite
shape, and the gentlemen who will be
associated with me in this enterprise
are among the representative capitalists
of the Northwest.
